Here we are for another Personal History Challenge Journaling post! What was my childhood home and neighborhood like? My grandparents house, although it was built in the 1940’s, was stuck in the 60s/70s with the shag carpet and large gaudy chandeliers. I loved it though. I felt safe and comfy there. My room was down the hallway in the back corner of the house on the left. Here I am before this actually became my room, when I was just a baby and would go visit. A few months later My favorite spot was in the front yard on the…
I write privately in a journal app called Day One. They have a lot of series that you can join in and add to your journal, which I think are a lot of fun. Gives me something else to write about besides the normal day to day happenings.

This most recent challenge is about your Personal History. What are my earliest childhood memories? I’m not sure which are actual memories…

1. What’s a talent you wish you had? I remember my Grandmother always wished she had a beautiful singing voice and now I have the same wish. 2. In one word, what’s your state of mind right now? Scared 3. What’s the next major purchase you need to make? Will it happen this month? This year? I can’t think of a ‘purchase’ but I do know we have lots of things we need to do to our house, repair/maintenance. We’re currently getting quotes to figure out what it will all cost to see how soon we can do it. 4.…

March 26th is National Spinach Day…are you a fan? If so, how do you like yours prepared/served? I like raw spinach and I love my Spinach dip. I actually try to eat less spinach now though because it has high oxalates which contribute to kidney stones. I have never passed a kidney stone, but during a CAT scan for something else my doctor mentioned I had a kidney…
